Agape Fish Fund partners with Southeast Asian Prayer Center (SEAPC) to provide orphans and children in Cambodia with a Christian home and education.

In 2018, we continued our sponsorship of Soklang Vun (7), Sinet Kov (13), Sopheary Kov (13), and Sopheak Kov (15). Soklang is at the Kampong Cham children's home, and the Kovs are at the Kampong Thom home.

Happy 13th birthday, Sinet and Sopheary!

Sopheary

Sinet and Sopheary Kov are two of the Cambodian orphans we support. These twins turned 13 on November 11th! They live at the Kampong Thom children's home, and they had a wonderful time at their birthday party with the other children.

Letters from the children

August 17, 2018

Dear Nancy and Agape Fish Fund,

Thank you very much for your prayers and support for the NHO Kids Camp which took place on August 1–4. It turned out wonderfully!

Over 700 people attended this 7th NHO Kids Camp. The kids were very excited and had a lot of fun, despite rain which kept them off the beach one afternoon. This was the first time it was held at the Independence Hotel Resort in Sihanoukville, Cambodia. Everyone said that it was the nicest location and best food ever. On the last day, approximately 100 children were baptized.

I asked the house parents to have the children write to you while at camp. I wanted the kids to share with you the excitement they were experiencing. Of course, some of them were so excited that their letters were quite short. These were action-filled days for them. I pray that their letter enclosed brings you great joy as you and others have provided the great joy of camp for your child.

Thank you and God bless you,Tina TomesRaising Kids Director​SEAPC

Soklang's Letter

Dear Agape Fish Fund,

Hello! How are you? I am good. I am really happy to have a chance to join the kids camp. It was very fun. I have met so many friends and I have learned some things from friends. We have worship together and learn about the Bible. I am so happy to see the beach and swim in the sea. It was really happy. Thank God for today. God bless you.​

Updates on Kampong Thom and Kampong Cham children's homes

January 31, 2019​Dear Friends,

2019 is off to a great start! I am so excited to see everything that God is going to do this year. In just the past couple of weeks, we have received some new sponsors and some new children. God has spoken to us at SEAPC that 2019 is going to be a year of opportunities. Please pray with us for His wisdom and success as we move in the opportunities He provides.

I will be in Cambodia for 3 weeks from middle-February to early March. There are multiple goals for this trip.

At the very end of 2018, we received the first draft of the report from brothers Hammer and Ethan concerning the structure and safety of each children's home. It is an excellent report. Part of my trip will be spent discussing with the team exactly what is needed to make the repairs and costs associated with those so that we can prioritize repairs and present the needs for prayer and financial support.

Just this past weekend at the end of January, a team from Singapore was in Phnom Penh. This team has committed themselves to travel to Cambodia at least 6 times this year for a special project. Two young people have been chosen from each home who have a heart for ministry. These young people will be going through a “crash course” in Bible school provided by the team. They will meet with the Singaporean team to learn basic theology, how to hold small group studies, how to hold outreaches, how to arrange kids camp, and many other things. Then, they will work with the team next year to put kids camp together.

A wonderful team from Virginia is traveling to Cambodia in the middle of February. They will be spending two weeks training the house parents in providing counseling for the children. This is an answer to prayer as we have been praying for more ways to help house parents help the children deal with grief and trauma in their lives.

Thank you so much for keeping the kids, the children’s home staff, and the SEAPC staff in your prayers.
